Photographs. When we're taking them, do we ever stop to think how many memories they might hold for us later on, or do we just put them up on the shelf to be forgotten?

This page is your gateway to my own personal collection of Championship Wrestling From Florida photos. As with HTML programming, I don't claim to be the world's greatest photog, but I must admit, for a kid of 16 years old, I did a pretty good job. What you will view in the pages that follow are my views from ringside, usually from the first couple of rows. The Bayfront Center photos came out pretty good...the Ft. Homer Hesterly Armory photos leave a lot to be desired. Then again, they were taken from the 5th row in less than ideal lighting conditions. But the essence of the moment is there.

Each photo contains a caption, recalled from the best of my memory. While I remember 99% of the guys in these shots, some of them escape me. When I have the time, I'll have to go back and check my old wrestling programs to pick out the names I've forgotten.

Sadly, several of these grapplers are no longer with us, and for them, my respect lives on. Thanks for the memories, guys. You done good.

I've cropped and cleaned up the photos as necessary. Still, some of the pages may take a while to load, especially on slower connections. Please be patient. A page designation (P1, P2, P3, etc.) follows each date set page to indicate the sequential order of the set.

Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane.
